What brands say about our bottle sleeves
Beverage and beauty brands use bottle sleeves to add print and protection with a fraction of the board.
“Our folding cartons print beautifully — the SBS surface makes CMYK pop and the foil came out crisp. Dieline was free and the proof was right first time.”
“We moved our whole subscription line to these cartons. Crash-lock assembly saves my packers real time and the kraft option looks great.”
“The window patch cartons let customers see the product without opening. Retail buyers loved it and re-ordered for three seasons.”
Material-smart
The sleeve brands the neck for a tenth of the board of a full carton — our eco story and cost both improved.
